Dear Neha,

As far as the HR Department is concerned, its role is to create a policy on performance appraisal and ensure its uniform application. To ensure proper implementation of the policy, the HR professional may attend the PA session. However, why does the HR professional want to meddle between the Manager and the subordinate? PA should always be conducted by the reporting manager or the HOD.

Secondly, how is the HR person expected to know everything about all the persons in all the departments?

The HR's primary job is to ensure that the KRAs are designed properly and the focus of the measurement is on some cost or a ratio. Each KRA must adhere to the SMART Principle. Going further, the PA should be based on the evidence at hand, and both sides should not use their imagination.

The HR's role in PA is that of the umpire. If they do not become a player from either side, it is better for the organization.

Thanks,
